From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Wang Hao and Birkar stayed together for a day, and they discussed the research direction of semi-topological structure and analyzed some specific problems.

After a day of communication, both of them felt that they had gained a lot.

Finally, Wang Hao also talked about the project issue, "This is a research we have cooperated with. Lin Bohan is also a co-participant, but there will definitely be more participants in the future."

"We need to give a framework definition first, and then conduct research in detail."

"The research starts after the year. We can communicate by email first. Without affecting your normal work, you can come to Xihai University once a month. We will conduct research together on the accumulated problems."

They talked together for a long time before realizing that Qiu Chengwen was always by his side.

Wang Hao also specifically asked, "Professor Qiu, it shouldn't be a problem for Kachel to participate in our project?" He was referring to the restrictions of the university.

Qiu Chengwen nodded weakly, "Of course there is no problem."

He doesn't want to see Birkar participate in Wang Hao's project at all, but what can he do?

Can Bilkar still be stopped?

Prevent the other party from pursuing academic research freedom?

If he really did this, it would be tantamount to forcing Bill Carr to leave Shuimu University. After all, a Fields winner can't decide what to study, and there is no need to stay.

In the afternoon, Wang Hao left Shuimu University, but his trip did not end. Instead, he asked Professor Tian Hong to have dinner with him in the evening.

Zhu Ping's 'personnel' work is progressing smoothly.

Tian Hong has already applied for resignation, and it is determined that he will take up a teaching position at Xihai University after the year.

When Wang Hao came to the capital, he met Tian Hong. They found a hot pot restaurant, had a good meal, and talked about going to Xihai University to work.

For Tian Hong, this was a turning point in his life.

Tian Hong is very interested in going to Xihai University. She is interested in participating in Wang Hao's project. In addition, she also hopes to change the environment.

Xihai University is a good choice, because at Xihai University, she can be more valued and get more resources.

this point is very important.

To outsiders, working as a professor at Capital University may seem good, but in fact, it is often not the case.

Many young professors in top domestic universities choose to go to some small institutions or go abroad to work and teach because they are not valued in universities.

Tian Hong, that's it.

Although many people say that she is a genius in mathematics, a genius is just a genius. She has excellent research results, but it is very difficult to improve her position.

In addition, it is a project problem.

She mainly studies geometric representation theory and the Langlands program, but it is very difficult to obtain funding for research in related fields, and the continuous rejection of applications is also very frustrating.

Before Tian Hong was considering working in a foreign university, now she has another choice, which is to join Wang Hao's team at Xihai University.

Wang Hao and Tian Hong talked a lot, including school treatment, laboratory treatment and so on.

He was really looking forward to Tian Hong's arrival.

Tian Hong can enhance the strength of the laboratory, and at the same time, it is also an expansion of the research field. The laboratory has not yet had talents who study geometry in depth, and Tian Hong's arrival makes up for this.

When the mathematics center is established in the future, Tian Hong must be a very important person.

...

The trip to the capital was fruitful.

On the plane the next day, Wang Hao kept thinking about what he had gained.

The Grand Prize in Natural Science is definitely the biggest achievement, and there are still reports about it everywhere in the public opinion.

Wang Hao still feels a little excited when he thinks about winning the special prize. He won the unprecedented award, which is tantamount to the affirmation given to him by the country.

At the same time, there are also great gains in research and talents.

Talent is Tian Hong.

Birkar can only be counted as half, because the other party did not come to Xihai University, but only participated in the project, but a Fields winner participating in the project can be regarded as a great gain.

In addition, it is the harvest of research.

In fact, discussing research with Bill Carr didn't yield much. They just exchanged their ideas with each other, and even the inspiration value didn't increase a bit.

"This shows that the train of thought is still not in the right direction..."

Wang Hao thought a little regretfully.

He believes that the biggest gain is Qiu Chengwen's reminder.

Yang-Mills equation.

This was something he hadn't thought of before. He didn't deliberately pursue solving the millennium math problem, but just concentrated on his own research.

But as Qiu Chengwen said, the Yang-Mills equation cannot be circumvented. As long as you do microscopic research, it will definitely be related to the Yang-Mills equation.

The Yang-Mills equation has too much influence, but only in the direction of the derivation of the equation, seven Nobel Prizes in physics and six Fields winners have been born.

The Yang-Mills theory is the basis for constructing the standard model of particles.

Among the top scholars relying on the Yang-Mills equation, the Belgian theoretical physicist François Engler is a very typical figure. He predicted the 'Higgs boson' by deriving the Yang-Mills equation The presence.

After that, the Ozhou particle collider continued to invest nearly two billion US dollars, and finally discovered the Higgs boson known as the "God Particle".

This also earned François Engler the Nobel Prize in Physics.

From this research, we can know how powerful the Yang-Mills equation is. Its greatest contribution lies in the integration of strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force within a mathematical framework.

One of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium includes the problem of the Yang-Mills equation, and the description of the problem is the existence and mass gap problem of the equation.

This sentence sounds complicated, and ordinary people can't understand it at all.

In fact, a simple explanation makes it clear that the mass gap does not cover the entire mass. An atom includes the nucleus and electrons. The equation only covers the nucleus and does not cover the electrons.

Electrons also have mass.

This is the quality gap, or understood as the quality of the hole.

The Yang-Mills equation problem, to understand simply, is to study and solve the quality problem that the equation does not cover.

If this problem can be solved, the basic theory of the standard model of particles can be said to be complete.

That's not just solving math problems, you can win the Fields Medal, but you can also win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Yang-Mills theory is the pinnacle of research, and it is also very difficult. Ordinary mathematicians and quantum physicists will also feel that they have no way to start.

Therefore, the number of scholars dedicated to the study of the Yang-Mills equation is very small, and even if it is higher, it is estimated that there will not be more than one hundred.

Wang Hao did not want to solve the problem of the Yang-Mills equation, but he hoped to combine the research of the Yang-Mills equation to assist in the study of the performance of the annihilation force.

His main research is still superconducting mechanism.

In the direction of the mechanism of superconductivity, he has always revolved around the microscopic morphology in the conductive state, and around the new geometry that has been shaped.

But how are novel geometries topological?

This is what the annihilation force does.

Therefore, it is also a good direction to do research from the perspective of annihilation force. Only by researching the two directions together can the overall theory be perfected.

To study the performance of annihilation force, quantum physics cannot be bypassed, so it is necessary to have a deep enough understanding of Yang-Mills theory.

Wang Hao thought about it and simply set up a task--

【Task 1】

[Research Project Name: Research on Yang-Mills Theory (Difficulty: S+). 】

[Inspiration value: 0. 】

really!

The Millennium Mathematical Conjecture is probably at the S+ level!

...

When I returned to Xihai University, there was a lot of congratulations and celebrations aside.

The influence of the Grand Prize in Natural Sciences is indeed great, as Luan Haiping said, "You have won this award, and next year's academician co-election has been stabilized."

"I said before that there is a high probability of being selected, but now it is definitely possible to be selected!"

Luan Haiping was very sure.

The Grand Prize in Natural Science is the greatest affirmation for a scholar, even unprecedented.

If you get an award of this level, even if you are only ten years old, you can be selected as an academician, and it is approved by all votes.

Domestic academicians are still different from those abroad.

Foreign academicians talk purely about academics, while domestic ones are a little politicized. In terms of academic achievements, Wang Hao is already impeccable. Coupled with the great affirmation of the awards, there is naturally no problem in the selection of academicians.

Wang Hao wasn't worried about evaluating academicians.

He even said that he didn't care much.

Many scholars select academicians for their own affirmation, or just to obtain the honor of academician titles, and others to make it easier to apply for projects.

But no matter whether it is honor or project application, he has no relevant needs.

Wanting to be elected as an academician now is just icing on the cake for him, and he still focuses more on his own research.

It's a pity that the research on the semi-topological structure problem has fallen into a bottleneck, and the time has entered the holiday, making it difficult to find inspiration.

Wang Hao also simply took a break and decided to have a relaxing Spring Festival.

This Spring Festival is different from usual, he did not go back to his hometown, and his parents came to Xihai ahead of schedule.

The arrival of Wang Haiqing and Liu Min made Wang Hao's new house a bit more popular. He had hired a nanny to take care of it, but he only went to live there occasionally. His parents lived at home, so he went back to live every day.

When the holidays really entered, Wang Hao also invited other friends over for a small gathering, which can be regarded as making up for the 'housewarming banquet'.

He invited many people, including several of his students, Li Xin, Xu Jie, Helen and Chen Mengmeng.

Zhang Xinyi, Ding Zhiqiang and Qiu Huian will not be able to catch up if they go home early.

In addition, there are several friends and colleagues, including several old professors from the Faculty of Science, as well as Zhang Zhiqiang, Luo Dayong, Zhu Ping, Yan Jing, He Yi and others.

On that day, the house of Guangxian Mansion became very lively.

Several students came here together.

Xu Jie walked in the front, and walked around the house after entering the house, admiring the luxury of the house. When he stepped on the stairs, he also sighed, "When will I be able to live in such a big house!"

Chen Mengmeng behind him made some statistics, "Based on your situation, if you enter a company after graduation, your average annual salary will be around 300,000."

"Considering your personal consumption level and future marriage and family expenses, you can save an average of 100,000 yuan a year, and it will take a hundred years to save 10 million yuan."

"Considering your health and longevity factors, you can't work for a hundred years."

"So your wish cannot come true."

Xu Jie stopped at the stairs, turned his head with a stiff face, and said with a depressed face, "Mumu, when did you start to learn from Helen?"

"You're just stupid!"

Chen Mengmeng rolled her eyes and said something.

Helen suddenly said, "Your calculation just now was wrong. I have studied the salaries of large Chinese companies. After Xu Jie graduates, he can enter a large company and engage in high-intensity, high-tech jobs. His annual salary may soon reach around 400,000 yuan. .”

Xu Jie winked at Chen Mengmeng triumphantly.

Helen continued, "However, he still needs to study for a master's degree for one year, and a doctoral degree for three years or more. The age of graduation is 28 to 30 years old. He has worked for seven to ten years and is expected to earn two to four million. "

"Then he will be unemployed due to factors such as old age and health, and can only engage in some low-paid labor jobs."

"If he bought the house with a loan after saving enough down payment, then in the second half of his life, it is likely that the house will be foreclosed because the loan is not paid..."

"Ahem!"

"There's no need to talk about it!" Xu Jie hurriedly stopped Helen, and if he continued, he could imagine the predicament of going bankrupt in his middle age.

At this moment, Li Xin raised his hand weakly and said, "Actually, if you just want to live in this house, it's very simple."

"oh?"

Three people looked over at the same time.

Li Xin said, "You just need to tell Teacher Wang that you want to stay for a day, and he will definitely agree."

"Right."

"Makes sense."

"Xu Jie, your wish is easy to come true."

the other side.

Wang Hao, Zhang Zhiqiang, He Yi, and several professors from the Faculty of Science sat in the living room and chatted.

Several people were busy in the kitchen, including Zhu Ping.

This time Wang Hao asked Zhu Ping to help organize the party. Zhu Ping is indeed a reliable person. She has a specific plan for the party, and even the food has been designed.

Some dishes are ordered in restaurants, while others can be made at home.

Zhu Ping and Liu Min were always busy in the kitchen, occasionally poking their heads out to ask Luo Dayong to do something.

"Dayong, come here and serve some food!"

"Dayong! Help me get something, just hold it..."

"Dayong..."

Not only did Zhu Ping ask Luo Dayong to help, but her roar was so loud that it could be heard clearly in the living room.

Zhang Zhiqiang sat quietly, feeling sympathetic to Luo Dayong. He whispered to Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, tell me, why did Luo Dayong fall in love with Zhu Ping? Why are the two of them together?"

"It's all right now, look at Zhu Ping's voice, I can't stand it!"

"Tigress!"

"You don't understand, this is called love." Wang Hao took a sip of his tea and said leisurely.

Zhang Zhiqiang said proudly, "Our Yanzi is different, but gentle, and never let me do things."

Wang Hao was full of doubts, "Is it because you just got married? Haven't passed the honeymoon period yet?"

"She is that kind of gentle woman." Zhang Zhiqiang even showed a happy light on his face as he said.

Wang Hao reluctantly agreed.

While the two were talking, Zhu Ping yelled very forcefully, "Luo Dayong, go to my mother's and help move two chairs!"

"Oh~~"

Luo Dayong replied feebly, and then walked out the door.

Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned, "Is he walking?"

"yes?"

"Why?"

Wang Hao said, "Zhu Ping's parents also live in this community, which is the building opposite." He pointed out the window.

"Zhu Ping's parents? Live here?" Zhang Zhiqiang looked out the window.

"yes?"

Watching Luo Dayong disappear around the corner, Zhang Zhiqiang took a deep breath, "Luo Dayong, what a bliss!"

"..."
